Who I Am
I’m the founder of Dinsmore Steele, the category leader in Strategic PEO Advisory™, and Volarei, a platform that delivers easy-to-purchase, industry-tailored B2B prospect lists. These aren’t just businesses; they’re proof that clarity can be engineered into outcomes.
Today, my role is simple. Help high-agency operators see clearly, act decisively, and win.
Frameworks That Cut Through Noise
Most leaders drown in complexity. More meetings, more vendors, more processes, but less clarity.
I build frameworks that strip away noise and expose what actually matters. Each is designed to give you leverage in moments where chaos usually wins: conversations, decisions, operations, and strategy.
Status → Condition → Flip
A three-step communication system for regaining control in high-stakes conversations.
It strips emotion, forces focus, and flips the burden of action back where it belongs.
Everything Is on Fire (It’s Not OK)
A reality check for organizations drifting into chaos.
Complexity, cost, and control don’t fix themselves; you have to see the fire and cut the fuel lines before it consumes you.
The WTF Are We Doing?™ Framework
A diagnostic that forces leaders to ask the only question that matters. Is this Worth The Friction?
Run it weekly to kill what wastes time, keep what earns its place, and redesign what’s broken.
Clarity Over Compliance
A philosophy for leaders who trade red tape for results.
Competence beats bureaucracy and clarity beats complexity every single time.
